TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Gholam
Hossein Dehqani lashed out at the western states, specially the US
and Britain, for sending weapons to the rebel groups in Syria, and
said they have closed their eyes on the terrorists' crimes in the
Muslim country.
"There are very horrendous reports about committing worst types of
crimes, particularly taking advantage of civilians as human shield
by the extremists in Syria," Dehqani said on Tuesday, addressing the
UN General Assembly meeting allocated to surveying the current status
of human rights observation in Syria.
He reiterated that Shiites, Sunnis, Druzes, and Christians are all
victims of the extremist groups and it is very surprising for us how
come during the course of the past two years no one has expressed
worries about the presence of foreign warriors who have entered Syria.
Addressing the British and US representatives at the UN, he said, has
Britain, or the United States so far expressed worry about arming the
opponents and forwarding money and logistical contributions for these
extremist groups, or have they themselves been involved in arming them.
It seems as if they prefer to close their eyes over the criminal
acts committed by the extremists in Qusair, Allepo, Khan al-Assal,
and the other Syrian cities and villages, he added.
Reminding the US and British UN envoys about the countless criminal
acts committed by the extremist groups in the region, and particularly
in Syria, he asked who is concerned about the fate of the victims
of these crimes? Where is that accountability of which you speak so
much about? Should these extremist groups and their supporters not
be held accountable for the criminal acts they commit?
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized
attacks by well-armed gangs and foreign-backed terrorist groups
against not just the Syrian police, border guard and army troops,
but also people being reported across the country.
Tens of thousands of people, including members of the security forces,
have been killed since some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups
for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated
from abroad.
In October 2011, calm was almost restored in the Arab state after
President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel,
the US and its Arab allies sought hard to bring the country into chaos
through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals
have been staging various plots to topple President Bashar al-Assad,
who is well known in the world for his anti-Israeli stances.
